Gonna go on a slight tangent here. In England, it is assumed that any Black footballer born or raised in England will want to play for the national team. However, when the footballer Wilf Zaha chose to represent Ivory Coast he was insulted and gets constant abuse on social media. Another example, Bukayo Saka is from a Nigerian family and plays for the England national team. He gets racially abused online. There is not one high profile black player in England that does not get targeted in one way or another. Bringing it back to France, a large number of black players want to play for the French national team instead of representing their origins.
